“We want to, and will, invest resources to be a leader Internet support. “ –BillG, April 1994

I remember holding a company wide meeting and explaining that the internet / world wide web would be like the movie industry making the transition from silent movies to movies with sound. And that many famous actors at the time did not make the transition to movies with sound. I had to use an analogy that all the employees would understand. I think the idea for the analogy came from Andy Grove. All our windows software tools had to change. I made it clear that if we didn't we would be out of business (like the silent movie actors that did not transition).
